## How Chongil Nakji started as a 4.5-pyeong delivery shop

Chongil Nakji started in a tiny 4.5-pyeong space with just nakji stir-fry, delivery only, but its honest flavor won people over and it grew into what it is today haha! It's always near the top of Naver restaurant searches!

## How does the octopus yeonpo-tang with beef shabu-shabu taste?

The octopus-nakji yeonpo-tang comes with beef too!! They cut up the whole octopus for you!! Into nice bite-sized pieces~~

They boiled the octopus-nakji yeonpo-tang until it bubbled haha!! Time to add the beef for shabu-shabu!! The beef is so tender and delicious~~ haha The broth is the real deal!! Totally rich~~ Dip the beef in the sauce and eat!! haha

Dip the octopus in chojang (vinegar-chili sauce) too!! The octopus is so plump and delicious~ haha The flesh is really thick and has such a great chew!!! This octopus was so good, it's actually why I came for the octopus-nakji yeonpo-tang~~

Dip the scallops in chojang too!! Not fishy at all, and really really delicious!! Since it's a limited-quantity menu!! Make sure to book ahead through Naver Reservation!!!

## Stamp coupon event and final verdict on Chongil Nakji
